145 x 95 mm. Showing a group of Sakai tribesmen, some with blowpipes, others carrying sacks of produce: Damar - a Resin produced by certain large forest trees (dammara). Dennys (1894) provides the following description. It sometimes exudes so as to form lumps, either on the trunk or beneath the surface, to the weight of ten or twenty pounds. Incisions are also made in the bark whence the gum is collected. It is pounded up and filled into palm sheath tubes called upei, about 18 inches long, which are sold at a low rate as torches. In some parts of the Peninsula it furnishes the only means of artificial light. A very clear and transparent dammar known as mata-kuching is obtained from the chengal tree and is used in making incense.
